The Application of Environmental Site Design Processes to Design a Residential Subdivision
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
Strategies of Low Impact Development (LID) are best known as alternative treatment systems to reduce the impact of storm water runoff on the environment. A more important aspect of LID is the implementation of Environmental Site Design (ESD). ESD is a design process to evaluate the environmental conditions on a parcel of land prior to the creation of a land development project. This process is most important for residential developments. While ESD can work with any land use regulations, the most environmentally sound developments will occur in those communities, whose land use regulations that permit "cluster" or "open space" designs. This paper will explore the strategies and steps necessary to create a residential subdivision utilizing ESD.
